Radio Ozodi correspondent Farzon Mukhamadi reported from the scene that the fire engulfed almost one hectare of the market area, affecting about 20 rows of points selling lumber and boards, and unofficial estimates put the damage at over 2 million dollars.
The Barakat market in the Bobodzhongafurov district is the largest construction materials market in the Sughd region. The market area housed more than 400 shops and trading points.
The fire primarily occurred in the rows with points selling lumber and boards. The fire is still not extinguished, and the reason is that the lumber and boards are burning from the inside, and firefighters lack enough water to put them all out.
According to eyewitnesses, the first signs of the fire at the Barakat market in the Bobodzhongafurov district were noticed yesterday evening, October 21, around 7:00 PM, and then news of the fire spread on social media.
The Barakat market in the Bobodzhongafurov district is located near the Khujand-Bobodjon Gafurov highway, and is known among residents as the Khujand Barakat market.
The Barakat market in the Bobodzhongafurov district was built in 2010, covering a total area of 7.78 hectares, with more than 400 shops and trading points located within it.
